My Indian Valentine's Day

 I had my post grad classmates over for munch on Valentines Day. With gusto we wore our favourite colours; had chocolates , food and plenty of pics. We had such a memorable time catching up with stories old and new. Eckart Tolle featured in our conversation.

It was a well spent day. We were comfortable talking various topics, comfortable with our flaws and laughter.

It is interesting how Indians have embraced valentine's day. Of course the romance tradition is uppermost. For the rest of the populace it symbolises simple plain/non romantic love between individuals- parents and children; teacher and students; and above all a beautiful platonic love between friends. Valentines day in India embraces the Indian family and extended family plus friends circle. 

Love is indeed beautiful is it not!
